I'd sign up for Hulu iff they offered a commercial-free plan.

So frustrating. I am trying to get up to level 200 in Bloon Tower Defense 5 on the Brick Wall track without using Super Monkeys. However, I am up to level 188 and each round is now taking 50 minutes to complete because of my crappy slow computer.

Sleepy Hollow. The first three episodes were forgettable, but the fourth is markedly better. Hm.

Almost Human has been the opposite. The first two episodes were pretty respectable cyberpunk, with some interesting ideas and good F/X. But then everything since has been just another cop show. Once again, J. J. Abrams sold a pilot and then lost interest.

(can you believe the cyberpunk genre is already more than thirty years old? they have to keep pushing back the target date because the real world hasn't advanced quickly enough. Blade Runner was set in 2019…)

So I just finished watching the new Top Gear DVD. These guys have way too much money (and free time).


I mean, it was basically an hour and a half of them driving expensive cars and being dicks to each other. But then again that's what Top Gear is.

I just found out that between 1948-1951 there was buzz about Walt Disney working on a serious animated movie based on Hiawatha. Though I know it would have been far from perfect, I'm still sad that it was never made.

Saw Frozen today. It was pretty good.

I think Anna is my favourite Disney princess. She's adorable .

^ I loved it <3 The ending felt sloppy though.

Spoiler: show

Like the thing with Hans being evil, then Anna walking somewhat pointlessly into the cold. Of course, it's a Disney movie so Kristoff found her right at the perfect moment.

I liked that "true love" was between the sisters, but it would have been nice if somehow Anna realized she loved Kristoff and not Hans and Hans instead fell in love with Elsa or something like that. It's not clear how there was some happy ending for Elsa.

Also, of course it's nice that Olaf got his little blizzard at the end, but personally I thought the part where he sang his song about summer and Kristoff was like "I'm gonna tell him" was kind of deep, and it'd be nice if Olaf could understand that he can melt... but I guess the scene where he was melting in front of the fireplace showed that he knew.

But overall I loved the movie a lot. The visuals were great, and the songs made it like a real musical rather than just a Disney animated film.

I tried to find some Frozen goods at the Disney store, but there were only stuff for kids. There were mugs and t-shirts, but they were kind of expensive.

I watched all the episodes of Sherlock recently, including the latest episode.

It certainly wasn't a perfect movie, but it's probably my favourite Disney movie in ages. Not counting Tangled, which I also loved.

Spoiler: show

I thought the Hans thing was kind of stupid, but at least they weren't being serious with the whole "OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH EVEN THOUGH I'VE JUST MET YOU LET'S GET MARRIED!" thing. At first I was just like "Really?" but. Then. Kristoff. Kristoff/Anna is adorable.

(Also I didn't like Hans anyway. His sideburns were stupid.)

It was really good, though. I loved it.

Lately I'm not a lot into RPGs, but the demo for Bravely Default on 3DS is actually pretty cool. I love the job system, and it has a very old-school Square-Enix feel to it. The music is superb, also. I might buy it
